Predictors of Failure in Ultrasound-Guided Hydrostatic Reduction of Intussusception in Children: Retrospective Analysis in a Specialized Center in Ethiopia.

Purpose: To identify factors predicting the failure of ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction of intussusception in children.

Patients And Methods: The medical records of 174 children who underwent ultrasound-guided hydrostatic reduction of intussusception over four years were reviewed at Tikur Anbessa Specialized Hospital. Patient's demography, clinical data, and sonography findings (type of intussusception, length of intussusception, presence of lead point, trapped fluid, lymph node, and free peritoneal fluid) were entered into SPSS 25 (IBM) and analyzed using logistic regression.
